Down 21-0 after three quarters, the Pinelands Regional High School football team had the option to fight back or crawl away in defeat. The Wildcats chose the former, scoring three times during the fourth quarter to force overtime before falling a point short, 28-27, to Matawan on Sept. 22.

Pinelands first got onto the scoreboard when Jaimin Parkinson scored a 1-yard run and quarterback Ryan Allen tossed a two-point-conversion pass to Matt Davis to make it a 21-8 contest early in the fourth.
